Another good movie

Go out and rent Luther. About Martin Luther. I found it inspirational and uplifting, although my ignorance of this period of history has me curious as to how historically accurate the movie is - from what little I know of Luther I think it is pretty true to the story. What I found myself pondering was the similarity between the justification for the Roman Catholic tyranny of that time and the justification for liberal policy today. The idea that the people should not be trusted with the scriptures because the "elite" had a better understanding of them directly parallels liberal orthodoxy - that the masses cannot be trusted to make their own decisions and must rely on a wiser third party to make the decision.
